nanoFLOWCELL works by combining all aspects of electrochemical accumulator cells with fuel cells. The liquid electrolytes are stored inside 2 tanks and circulated through the cell. At the heart of the system, there's a membrane that separates 2 electrolytic solutions but still allows electrical charge to pass through in order to produce power for drive train. This technology has high charge density, high performance density, and very light compared to conventional energy storage systems. It doesn't contain harmful substances, any moving parts, and is very efficient. Compared to lithium ion technologies, nanoFLOWCELL offers 5-times greater performance-by-weight which means it is able to reach 5-times greater driving range.

The interior features futuristic dashboard, there are 2 rows of seats, one behind the other just like jet-cockpit style. The pain color also has won a lot of fans when presented in Geneva, "Crystal lake blue" which is developed exclusively for this car to reflect the power of the powertrain. sensorFLOW technology offers a visual highlight like you've never seen before in automobile control elements, at first sight, all you see is natural, smooth ash wood surface, but once it's activated, all control elements become visible through the natural wood. Any light touch of your finger triggers appropriate action of the system.

Manatee Deep Sea Sub

We've gone to the moon and even sent probes to Mars, but it's mind boggling to think that we've only managed to explore 10% of our own vast oceans! This is in part because the deep sea has been limited to scientists and research groups. The Manatee submersible concept vehicle was designed to give the rest of us a chance to do a little exploring of our own. More about recreation than scientific discovery, the interior is roomy and comfortable for a relaxing experience. A simple user interface, joystick controls and touch screen controls ensure anyone can get the hang of it.
